« on: March 03, 2013, 12:42:13 am »
Hi Guys,

In less than a week I am departing for my 8 month journey around Africa and Europe.

I will be posting some details here for anyone looking to do a similar trip or just wanna see what I am up too.

Here is my blog www.vansafrica.com.

Cheers

Hi Guys,

Please help!

My rear diff bearings are busy going at a speedy rate. Does anyone know of a mech in morocco or of a diff in SA thats rebuilt that I can send to morocco?

Or if anyone has any idea how to replace the bearings and if its possible to be done in small workshop!
